Canada SCORES Vancouver partners with urban schools to provide a high quality, team-based after-school program that integrates soccer, poetry and service-learning.
Founded in Burnaby in 2013, Canada SCORES began offering their unique after-school programming at no cost to families in January 2014 with 45 students in 3 Burnaby elementary schools. Today, they have grown to support over 200 students, grades 4-7, through partnerships with 12 schools from Burnaby, Surrey, and New Westminster.
